Sir,

ENCLOSURE 174 READ REGP & JAN 3 203

Govt. Marine Surveyor's Office. Harbour Department. Hong-Kong, 5th November, 1897.

I most respectfully ask you to forward this application for His Excellency the Governor's consideration and to favourably recommend me again for an increase of salary.

Fourteen months ago I had the honour to address His Excellency with reference to this same question. His Excellency at that time kindly entertained my petition (for which I am very thankful) and was good enough to suggest to the Right Honourable the Secretary of State for the Colonies, that I might receive part of the fees earned for work done out of office hours. This suggestion was however declined by the Secretary of State as not in keeping with the rules of the service, but promise not to refuse to entertain another application after somewhat longer service, should my work continue to increase and my services continue to give satisfaction.

The Honourable Captain R. M. Rumsey, R.N. Harbour Master.
